Hello Excel Guru Friends,

I have a list of Item ID's and descriptions in one cell.
The descriptions are in (...) in each cell.
What is the formula to pick out what is inside the (...)?
Note - output does not have the (...), please.

RGPR-WPC80 (WPC 80)
RGEV (Evodiamine 10%)

So for the 1st line above, output = WPC 80

thx!

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Hi, here is one option maybe:
